Gentle Alerts

Google chrome extension to convert alerts into gentle notifications

I started this project after getting annoyed with Google Calendar's event
notifications. They used to have nice soft notifications, but they broke it
when they graduated their feature from google labs and they
haven't fixed it.

The extension will replace the built-in browser alert window with a modal which
won't force you to context switch between tabs. It also prevents you from
accidentally closing alert windows when you're typing.

You can close the modal by pressing "Enter", "Escape", or "Space". When
opening, it has an audio chime.

Contributions welcome

written against ES 2015 spec for browser compatibility.
